Description I know I'm really not being terribly original with these titles. So sue me. My excuse is that this is from the same shoot as Lace III , hence the need for continuity. *Cough*

Did anyone else watch the latest episode (ep 9) of True Blood? I was literally BAWLING during the ending! Godric was my favorite character on the show, EVER, with Eric now being a close second due to his relationship with Godric. But anyway. Godric basically tore my heart out when he met the sun. I was in utter despair, to put it lightly. Of all the vampires I have ever read or watched, Godric is the only one who ever came close to what I think a vampire should be (I don't know what that says about my ideas of vamps since he decided to meet the sun in the end--but that's a whole other issue). I mean, he was compassionate, moral, strong and his ideas of humans and vampire society were completely spot on. True, he was also a little disconnected, but that is to be expected from someone who's witnessed over 2000 years of history.

I also liked how he was depicted in the show as an almost holy figure, especially when compared to the members of the Fellowship of the Sun. You could even look at his suicide in the end as a sacrifice, since he so hoped for a race of better vampires. Either that, or he thought it would serve as a kind of redemption for all his sins and the sins of his kind. How beautifully tragic is that? I also like to think that the tattoo across his collar bone was an inverted halo. So, if you haven't seen True Blood, go and watch season 2 just for Godric! It is definitely worth it. There aren't many TV shows that have an episode which I 1) rewatch more than once and 2) cry MORE each time I rewatch it. Godric. Is. That. Damn. Cool.

Seriously, forget about commenting and go watch it!

classic!



I'd like to see this shot composed/cropped so the subject's camera-left eye was centered in the frame but no change in other perspectives.

I don't think I cropped it much. It was taken this way. I can see what you're getting at, though.

Thanks for ruining it by giving away who dies. j/k seriously though, I only like my vampires nice and murderous, like in 30 days of night. That whole angsty vampires trying to be good might have been fresh in Buffy, but by now I think it's just annoying. ^__^

Anyway, beutiful photo, as always, I like how simple yet very beautiful your photos are ^^

I'm still an angsty teenager at heart, so I like reading how vampires or whoever deals with those kinds of emotions. Aaaand I like to think that vamps actually have something worth angsting about, so it makes me feel a bit better about reading crappy fiction.

Well, I suppose vampires could be argued to have a semi-legitimate reason to be angsty ^__^ I just feel like it's overdone, but people like it, so yeah, who an I to judge

It /is/ overdone sometimes *coughTwilightcough*... I am finding it more and more difficult to find anything more original in the genre. I am currently making my way through the Sookie Stackhouse books. Those are refreshing bc they are written in a very frank way from a human's POV, so the angst is sort of at a minimum. That said, when it all does come raining down on the protagonist, it pours.

Problem is, because twilight is so popular everyone's trying to cash in on the fad and a lot of "similar" vampire books are coming out of the woodwork, often with new cover art to make them look all dark and angsty, 'cause that's what them kids are into these days

Very pretty; you kind of remind me of that actress.. Shu Qi when she was younger. Your facial anatomy is similar.
The lighting is nice; really makes your skin look gorgeous.

Wow, er, I never thought I'd be compared to Shu Qi. She is ridiculously pretty, and in a very pretty girl kind of way. o.O Thanks!
Lol, my skin only looks nice because of retouching.
